World Bird Wednesday: Water Birds
A trip to Wynnum waterfront for some "girl time" on my daughter's 20th birthday, resulted in a lovely surprise. Not only was it an absolutely beautiful day, but I saw & captured 5 different birds that I haven't had the opportunity to see in real life. It was low tide & these birds were all foraging for food in the mud.

Great photos - but now I am wondering what the other 3 were that you saw. I'll check next week. The Stilt photos are great. I see very few of them up here. As to the Godwits - Well you need to plan a trip up this way next September when the return migration occurs! Then you can see 1000's - literally!!
ReplyDeleteyou were there with your camera at the right tidal change; great finds Liz; lovely photos of beautiful water-birds
ReplyDeleteSuch an intriguing bird, fantastic captures Liz!
ReplyDelete;-)WBW!
Both birds that I have captured (on camera!) in New Zealand. The Godwits' migration is one of the most amazing migration stories: for me second only to that of the Monarch Butterfly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the lifers Liz and, of course, your daughter's 20th B-Day! Love the shots of the Black-winged Stilts. They are so elegant!
ReplyDeleteWell captured, beautiful water birds, such long legs.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent shots, as always. Great birdlife too. By the by, I've nominated you for the 'Versatile Blogger' Award. It's definitely a well deserved title.
